What does a Kansas assisted living license mean for residents at Tallgrass Creek?

Tallgrass Creek holds both Kansas assisted living (42 beds) and residential health care (30 beds) licenses: the assisted living side uses apartments, the residential health care side individual living units, and both give 24-hour personal or supervised nursing care.

K.S.A. 39-923 defines both license types for six or more residents. The practical difference is the unit: an assisted living apartment adds a kitchen area, while a residential health care unit is a private room with its own bath. Every resident gets a negotiated service agreement that sets out the care the facility will give.

Tallgrass Creek also holds a nursing facility license (44 beds), so a resident can move to skilled care on the same campus.

Does Tallgrass Creek have a memory care unit?

KDADS doesn't say. Kansas has no memory care license or public dementia-unit flag, so whether Tallgrass Creek runs a secured memory care neighborhood is something to confirm with the community directly.

Kansas does expect a facility that admits residents with dementia to cover their cognitive needs in the negotiated service agreement and to train the staff who care for them. Ask to see this year's dementia training records and walk the secured area, if there is one.

What does assisted living cost at a community like Tallgrass Creek?

Assisted living in the Kansas City metro typically runs $3,200–$5,800/mo in 2026 and memory care $4,500–$7,800/mo; Tallgrass Creek doesn't report its rates to Kansas KDADS, so ask for a written rate sheet.

At 72 beds, Tallgrass Creek is a mid-sized community. Larger buildings often price care in levels, smaller ones lean toward all-inclusive rates, so ask which model is used and what moves a resident to the next level. Because the building is in Kansas, the public help that applies is KanCare (including the Frail Elderly HCBS waiver), which can pay for care services for eligible residents but not room and board, and not every community accepts it.
